Michigan Personal Injury Case Referrals
Refer Your Michigan Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Abuse, or Complex Tort Case to Lipton Law
No Fee Unless We Recover for Your Client
There are many reasons an attorney might need to refer out a personal injury case: a conflict of interest, a lack of experience with a particular type of claim, a client who lives outside a convenient service area, or simply not having the bandwidth to litigate a complex injury matter properly. Whatever the reason, Lipton Law has built its reputation as the law firm other attorneys turn to when their clients deserve more than their own firms can typically promise.
We are proud to be the go-to personal injury firm for attorneys across Michigan and throughout the country. More than 650 lawyers send us their clients’ personal injury cases, trusting our Southfield-based team to deliver the same dedicated representation we’d provide to any client who walked through our doors directly.
Why So Many Attorneys Refer Their Personal Injury Cases to Us
Since our founding in 1964, Lipton Law has handled personal injury claims of every size and complexity, from straightforward auto accident cases to multidistrict litigation involving hundreds of injured plaintiffs nationwide. That range of experience is part of why our referral network has grown to include more than 650 attorneys statewide and across the country.
When you refer a personal injury client to Lipton Law, you can expect:
- A team with a combined 250-plus years of legal experience, twelve attorneys supported by two full-time in-house nurses who help evaluate and develop the medical aspects of each case
- Prompt, transparent communication about your referral's status from intake through resolution
- A fee structure that complies with Michigan's referral fee rules and protects your interest in the case
- The same personal attention and aggressive advocacy for your client that we provide every client who comes to us directly
We also serve as local Michigan counsel for out-of-state firms that need experienced boots on the ground here, including for class action and mass tort litigation. If your firm needs a trusted Michigan partner rather than a full hand-off, we can typically accommodate that relationship as well.

How We Handle Attorney Referral Fees
Lipton Law honors referral fees on every case we accept from a referring attorney, and we put that commitment in writing as soon as we’re retained. Michigan Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(e) allows a referring attorney to be compensated for a referral without actively working the case, provided the client is informed of the fee-sharing arrangement, doesn’t object, and the combined fee remains reasonable.
We build the necessary client disclosure and consent directly into our retainer agreement, so the referral arrangement is documented from day one. We also track referral sources carefully on every file we open. If your client reaches out to us directly rather than going through you first, simply have them mention your name so you’re properly credited.
